MembershipSeptember is the start of the 2008 Riding Season at the Forest City Velodrome. Memberships and donations keep the Velodrome open and provide many of the programs that take place at the track.

Since we started the Velodrome Project, 235 riders have taken out a membership at the FCV. This is an outstanding number for us and we are hoping to continue this growth in 2008.

We would like the many riders that have not ridden in a year to come back and participate in the new programs that have been introduced in the last 18 months.

Go to the website for more information at www.ForestCityVelodrome.ca and download the new membership form, or use the current form on the website.

Hurry and renew your membership today!

Western FairPlease be sure to drop by the FCV Booth at the Western Fair which runs Friday, September 7 through Sunday, September 16th. Come by and pick up your free Race Night Pass.

Craig Lave is coordinating the coverage of the booth to get maximum exposure for the FCV during the 10 Days of the Fair. Over 200,000 people attend the fair each year and it will be a great opportunity to attract kids, spectators and recreational riders to the Velodrome.
